Patent EP-0392671-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04N19/59
Filed: 1990-03-15
Abstract: An image motion vector detection apparatus 
effectively reduces influences of false vectors arising at 
a certain probability and suppresses time lags. An image 
fluctuation stabilizer highly stabilizes images or frames 
without causing unnatural visual feelings. An image 
motion vector detection apparatus comprises means (2 to 5) 
for detecting motion vectors in each of motion vector 
detection regions defined in the whole or part of picture 
frame, means (12) for judging the reliability of the 
motion vector in each region, and signal processing means 
(11) which, in obtaining a motion vector of the whole or 
part of the frame from the motion vectors of the regions 
and in case the number of motion vectors judged to be 
reliable is more than or equal to a predetermined number, 
outputs a representative value of a set of the reliable 
motion vectors as a motion vector of the frame.

Title: Display with enhanced scrolling capabilities
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 1990-03-07
Abstract: A computer display (40) has a display processor (41) 
connected to a presentation space buffer (50) and a screen 
buffer (70). The presentation space buffer is larger than 
the screen buffer, and is divided into a plurality of 
partitions. Each partition has a partition window which 
maps into the screen buffer. If a partition is active, its 
associated partition window is written into the screen 
buffer at the mapped location. The screen buffer periodi­
cally refreshes the display screen, so a plurality of 
partition windows are displayed to the computer user. One 
or more scroll groups can be defined, and one or more 
partitions can be assigned to each scroll group. Each 
defined scroll group has a vertical scroll trigger and a 
horizontal scroll trigger. The display monitors the 
movement of the cursor within a partition window. When 
the cursor gets close enough to a boundary of a partition 
window, to trigger a scroll trigger, the display shifVYts 
the partition window within its partition and writes this 
updated partition window into the screen buffer. Updated 
partition windows are written into the screen buffer for 
the other partitions in the scroll group.

Title: Protecting plasmodium falciparum hybrid proteins, containing partial sequences of malaria antigens hrpii and serp
IPC: C12P21/02
Filed: 1991-12-20
Abstract: The invention relates to hybrid proteins consisting of partial sequences of the malaria antigens HRPII and SERP. The HRPII sequence has already proved to be protective in the monkey model (EP-A2-0 315 085), use being made in the present invention, just like in the previous attempt at protection - of a C-terminal region of 189 amino acids. SERP was identified with the aid of an antiserum against a protective protein band (EP-A1-0 283 882); the partial sequence used (amino acids (AA) 631-892 or 630-764) contains at least two T-cell epitopes (Roussilhon et al. (1990), Immunol. Letters 25, 149-154). In preferred embodiments, further regions, containing T-cell epitopes, of other P. falciparum proteins such as the merozoite surface antigen I (MSA I or else 195 kd antigen), amino acids from 100 to 300, are incorporated (Crisanti et al. (1988), Science 240, 324-326). A property common to all the hybrid components is that they represent highly conserved peptide sequences. Protection against a malaria infection is generated by inoculation with abovementioned hybrid proteins.
Patent EP-0463893-A3 (EP)
Title: Two and three wire utility data communications system
IPC: H04L69/14
Filed: 1991-05-24
Abstract: A two wire/three wire utility data communications system for remotely reading utility meter registers. In the two wire version, a hand-held reading unit is inductively coupled over two wires via a port located remotely from a meter register. Alternatively, a meter interface unit (MIU) may be connected directly to the register via three wires. Each register includes one or more wheel position encoders. An AC interrogation signal is applied by the reading unit to encoder circuitry at the meter which powers the circuitry and causes the position of each encoder wheel to be read. In the two wire mode, register display information (e.g. the current meter reading) is transmitted back to the reading unit by varying the load (impedance) presented by the register side of the circuit. This causes a corresponding variation of the amount of current drawn from the reading unit. The current-modulated signal is decoded by the reading unit and converted into a register reading. The system can also operate in a three wire mode and read older fourteen wire encoded registers. Other features include remote programmability of register characteristics, the ability to interrogate multiple registers which share a common data bus, verification of encoder wheel positions before accepting a reading, real-time flow rate/leak detection, pulse output, and the capability of reading compound meters (i.e. meters having two registers to separately measure high/low flow rates). <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0576841-A3 (EP)
Title: Digital timer apparatus and method
Inventor: BETTELHEIM RUDOLF
IPC: G04F10/00
Filed: 1993-06-01
Abstract: A digital timer apparatus (10) incorporates a free running 
counter (12), an interval timer (18), a capture register (14), a 
pulse accumulator (20) and holding logic (16, 22). A rising or 
falling edge of an external signal causes the current contents of 
the free running counter (12) to be loaded into the capture 
register (14) and causes the pulse accumulator (20) to be 
incremented. The output of the interval timer (18) can cause the 
contents of the pulse accumulator (20) and capture register (14) 
to be stored into the holding logic (16, 22). The timer apparatus 
(10) is particularly well suited to performing tasks related to the 
determination of the speed of rotation of a rotating member and 
may be used, for instance, in detecting wheel rotational speeds in 
an anti-lock brake system or detecting shaft rotation speeds in an 
automatic transmission.

Title: Releasing device for ski bindings
Inventor: BURGER SIMON
IPC: A63C9/086
Filed: 1993-07-06
Abstract: The subject of the invention is a releasing device for ski bindings, having a carriage which is movable transversely to the longitudinal axis of the ski, forms a support for the heel of the ski boot and is held in its position of use by the interaction of a carriage guide and a lock operating under spring force until the forces exerted by the ski boot exceed an adjustable threshold. According to the invention, a response by the carriage to these forces, both in a direction of action transverse to the ski surface and parallel to the plane thereof and perpendicularly thereto, is made possible by the fact that the carriage guide (2) engages around the carriage (1) only along its lateral edge region (5) which is to the front in the position of use, and the lock (4) engages on the carriage (1) on its lateral edge region (6) which is to the rear in the position of use and exerts a movement-inhibiting spring force thereon in at least two directions, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the ski and to each other.

Abstract: A process for coating inorganic particles with dense amorphous silica is provided in which a suspension of inorganic particles is coated by adding an acid to a solution of a silicate, preferably an alkali metal silicate. During at least a part of the addition the suspension is subjected to the effects of ultrasonic vibrations. Coatings of dense amorphous silica which are substantially continuous and impervious can be produced using the new method at temperatures of about 60 DEG C and in an acceptable time whereas previously known economical methods for producing a coating of dense amorphous silica generally employed temperatures of approximately 90 DEG C. The process is particularly useful for producing titanium dioxide pigments having very high durability.
